Ataru felt tired from the battle, but he was not particularly injured, so he helped to rescue the fallen adventurers.

 

"Come on, the enemy's taken care of, let's head back to town."

 

"Oh, I'm sorry."

 

One of the adventurers who was badly injured had seen Ataru's fighting prowess, so he was quick to offer his assistance. The other adventurer, had no idea that Ataru, who was able to move without a care in the world despite having killed such a large monster, would have the lowest rank of F.

 

Those who had taken refuge in the city and the other adventurers who were able to move took the initiative to lend a hand to the injured.

 

"Without Ataru-san, it would have been a very difficult fight."

 

Franphilia, who slowly raised her body, which was highly fatigued from the massive consumption of magic, smiled like a holy mother and looked at Ataru, who was lending a hand to the fallen adventurer. Having given him and Caro preferential treatment, Franphilia felt that her eyes had not been wrong. She also hoped that they would stay in the city for their future success.

 

"...... Guild master, who the hell is that guy?"

 

It was Basta with a doubtful expression who asked the question. He had seen many adventurers as an A rank adventurer, but Ataru was clearly different compared to the adventurers he had seen so far.

 

"He's ...... one of our best adventurers. That's all I can say."

 

Smiling weakly with a slightly lowered eyebrow, that was all Franphilia answered, but it was an answer because she too knew very little about Ataru.

 

"Oh, really?"

 

However, her response was short on words, which stirred up a lot of imagination in Basta. He might be the guild master's hidden gem, someone with a story to tell.

 

And doesn't he possess some special power that he can't tell others about? The more he thought about it, the more Ataru's mystery deepened, and Basta couldn't stop his imagination from running wild.

 

After leading some adventurers to the entrance of the city, he started looking for his partner, Caro.

 

"Caro, Caro, Caro, come here: ......"

 

As he was looking around, muttering names that spilled out unnoticed, Ataru turned to see what was going on when he heard someone running towards him at a very fast pace.

 

"Ataru-samaaaaaaaaaa!"

 

It was Caro he was looking for, as she jumped onto his waist with her small body. She was sobbing like a lost child, crying, and shouting Ataru's name in a loud voice. (G: Caro is best girl change my mind!)

 

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Caro, I'm glad you're okay. Sorry I left you alone. ...... I was focused on the fight."

 

He gently holds her in his arms, wiping away her tears and saying he's sorry.

 

"It's okay, it's okay, Ataru-sama! I'm glad you're okay."

 

Ataru went against the huge enemy without any fear. She couldn't help but feel helpless as she just stood there and watched.

 

Caro was well aware of Ataru's strength, but even so, her anxiety overwhelmed her in the face of such a powerful opponent.

 

"I'm sorry I worried you. I'm fine. I'm sorry."

 

Ataru, who could feel Caro's emotions keenly, apologized again while gently patting Caro's head and decided to wait until Caro stopped crying.

 

After a while, Caro slowly stopped crying and quickly pulled away from Ataru.

"?Sorry. I'm sorry ...... for crying ......."

 

When she saw Ataru's surprised eyes rolling up in surprise at her sudden departure, Caro's face turned red all at once as she understood the situation. While she was waiting for Ataru, she couldn't help but worry about his safety, and when she found him, she felt so relieved that her emotions exploded, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed that she had taken such a bold action.

 

"No, I'm glad you're that worried about me. Thanks."

 

Ataru's heart was warmed by the small existence that cared so much about him, and he softly smiled and expressed his honest feelings.

 

The guild master, Franphilia, was wondering what to say to these two people who created their own world around them.

 

"...... Oh, um, may I?"

 

Somehow, she managed to call out to him, even though she was worried that if she waited like this, she would just be left behind.

 

"Hmm? Ah, Franphilia. What is it?"

 

Ataru turned around and his expression switched as if nothing had happened earlier.

 

"The others have returned to the city, so you two should head to the guild. You'll be rewarded according to the results of your kills."

 

If the two who were the most active in this battle were late, the confirmation process would be delayed, and the reward would be delayed accordingly.

 

However, Franphilia did not tell him why, but rather urged him to go to the guild.

 

"Oh, ......, I'm sorry."

 

Ataru, now aware of their current situation, looked around and was surprised internally that they were the only ones left. He had expected the clearing out process to take a little longer than it did.

 

"Can you move, Caro?"

 

"Yes!"

 

Caro's eyes reddened a little at Ataru's caring question, but she answered immediately with a smile, and the three of them headed together to the adventurer's guild in town.

 

When they entered the guild, the other adventurers had already finished checking their adventurer cards, and only Ataru and Caro remained.

 

"Ataru-san, Caro-san, we've been expecting you. Thank you for your efforts. This way, please."

 

It was Boulas who approached them. Only his reception desk was up and running, apparently because he was waiting for them.

 

"Here's our cards, then. Please take care of it."

 

Boulas took the offered cards and set the two of them into the magic tool in turn.

 

"Let's start with you, Caro-san. ...... Oh, my God."

 

But as the number kept increasing and the resultant number was displayed, Boulas shifted his glasses and was surprised.

 

"Let me see."

 

Franphilia peeked at the figures next to Boulas, who was clearly surprised by the strange situation.

 

"It's forty-three. ......"

 

It was a number second only to the top group among the adventurers who had confirmed the number so far. The entire floor, which had been listening to the stunned Franphilia mumble the numbers, was thrown into a state of shock at the fact that a girl who had just registered just a few hours ago had been able to produce such numbers.

 

"Oh, um, is that a lot?"

 

Caro, unsure why the two was surprised, unintentionally asked the question in an uneasy manner.

 

"Of course! This will be one of the top ten!"

 

Caro's eyes widened in surprise at Boulas' enthusiastic reply as he adjusted his glasses.

 

"Oh, Caro, that's amazing."

 

(Garden: sorry about this note, but i have to do this so that i can "link" our site, so the bastards over at readlightnovel, don't take our translations without any credit.

Of course, this result was due in part to Caro's own abilities, but it was also because it included the number of monsters that Ataru had dealt damage to.

 

"Thank you very much!"

 

Still, it was an honor for Caro to be praised by her master, and she beamed, her face beaming with happiness.

 

"Let's get back on track and check out Ataru's card: ...... What?"

 

When Boulas saw the number, he froze with his mouth hanging open. Franphilia checked the number from the side, just as she had done earlier, but she too was stunned by the unexpected number.

 

"Hey, this is ......."

 

"What's wrong? What's wrong with my numbers?"

 

Curious about the results, Ataru leaned forward to look at the magic tool. When Boulas noticed this, he seemed to be speechless and quietly brought the magic tool forward a little, to a position where Ataru could easily see it.

 

"...... Incidentally, what's the current number one spot?"

 

After staring at it, Ataru checked his numbers and looked up and asked Boulas a question.

 

"I am in first place for now, it seems. One hundred and twenty in total."

 

However, it was Basta, who had fought the Gigant Demon with him, who answered him.

 

"First place with 120. ......"

 

"How many do you have?"

 

Basta was curious about Ataru's hesitant tone and asked him spontaneously, without any conscious thought that since he had answered, he should answer.

 

"Well, I mean, it' s, uh, three hundred and two."

 

Ataru, who had been listening to Basta's count, mumbled the number somewhat hesitantly.

 

" Huh, ......?"

 

Basta's voice spoke for everyone in the room as he spilled out, unable to understand what he was saying.
